Fault: Have few clearly defined goals
Response
I did not decide what I was going to become after university, that I ended up failing to excel at the endeavor. I understood that doing the right thing was far more important that merely doing anything. Unfortunately for me, I never quite ended up doing anything at all.
If I had defined the destination, that would have allowed me to get moving and achieving. Knowing that I was not committed to the end as the goal post could change at any moment allowed me to half-ass through life. Since I think I knew better than to merely get up to busy work, I got stuck in analysis paralysis.
I become a jack of no trade.
Regardless, I got good at the looking around for answers and researching in search of the right/better things to work.
